This was my experience and the con-

enervated. Soon l noticed a distinct
and distressing back ache you'd make
its appearance in the afternoon, in
creasing in severity if the exercise was

stretchy feeling with pr ofuse gaping

always clear as bell, would feel heavy

pain in the frontal portion and a heat

Nausea and vomiting occurred with
severe retchings, and when the parox-

every part Of me.

During all this time, it must be un-

treatment. All the most powerful
remedies were tried, such as liquid ar

this | did under the advice Of eminent
physicians.
Itwas while I was in this deplorable

to me. Many people may think the
statement scarcely credible, but II IS a
fact that after only few days use of

This was about the first Of January,
and since then have experienced no

ought to be commended and uniyer

urged it upon tie attention of my
friends. several Of whom have used II
with like good results in every case
and it is with the greatest pleasure
and sincerity that / commend Kaskin'
to sufferers from malaria everywhere.
